Late late late
It is getting increasingly difficult to wake up in the morning, and hence I have been late to work EVERY SINGLE DAY these days.
And it doesnt help that the bus journey is getting fucking slower everyday. While it used to take me 45mins to reach work, it is taking me like 70 minutes now. To reach office on time, by right I have to leave home at 7.20am, but between 7:15am to 7:35am there's no bus services.
(There is, but that is a 105B that travels to clementi mrt only, bloody hell.)
And if I miss the 7:35am bus, the next one seems to come only at 7:50am, and therefore I am reaching work at 9am, 30 whole minutes after my working hours!
I know I can make it if I take the 7:15am bus, but that effectively means I have to get up at 5:45am, for I need 90minutes in the morning to get ready, for I need to wash my hair, blow dry, iron clothes and conceal my bloody dark circles.
(The dark circles portion takes me 10 minutes a day. And it takes longer if I slept less the previous night.)
But to wake up at 5:45am, and to be able to get 7 hours sleep as recommended by my doctor, in a bid to cure my migraine, I should go to sleep at 10:45pm.
If I spend only 1 hour on myself, no matter is it on tv or on newspaper or on comp games, I have only between 9:45pm to 10:45pm to do so.
Going backwards still, I need another 30mins or so to bathe and remove makeup after work, so that means I have to get to it at 9:15pm.
If it takes me 1 hour to travel home after work, that means I have to leave office at 8:15pm.
But I usually leave office at 11pm. Sometimes as early as 7pm, sometimes as late as 3am. Little wonder why I never get enough sleep. And on the days which I leave early, I still end up not sleeping enough because I seems to be only compensating my earlier incurred sleep debt.
Jiu ming ar!

Trip
I am going on a trip this friday, but I hadnt got the chance to prepare anything. Doing OT everynight does little to help.
I still need to get a haircut, and buy new supplies of contact lens, and need to pack my luggage. I have no time to do all these, and the trip is less than 4 days away!
Oh dear oh dear oh dear!!
The only way to do it, will be to get a bit done everynight from now till then.
Sigh, I thought it is a vacation? Why is is stressing me up so much?

陌生的）我们继续对话
今天的气氛怪怪的。空气好像冷了一，两度。
我想，我们两个真的是太爱把喜怒哀乐全写在脸上，我们现在对话的语气，好似我们刚认识。很陌生的。很尴尬的。很客气的。
即使我和大佬依然有说话，我们中间暂时是封上一层冰的。
只能说，讲的好听是相敬如宾，讲的难听就是相敬如冰了。
这样的关系，令人好不舒服。我不知道他是因为我不再找他谈笑风生，而把脸绷起。还是他已经在向我呈现老板状态？
老实说，我没有答案。
可是不管如何，象老板所说，我还是得给大佬应有的尊敬和尊重。打骂嬉闹的日子，让它过去吧。

退开点）站回自己的位子去
老板今天宣布，大佬正式荣升管理层的阶级。
一向来，虽然我清楚大佬迟早都会升值，可我和他的关系，象同事多过于象上司下属。今天的这份宣布，真的是把我唤醒了。
原来我们的关系从来都不似我想象的那样。
老板说，现在大佬成了管理层阶级，我们其他人对他要有一定的尊敬和尊重。但是很明显的，这番话是针对我说的。
是的。我该退开点了。
该站回自己该站的位子去。

Conversation in a padded cell #9
I am planning a vacation in may, and I'd already applied for 6 days of leave.
Due to change of plans, I have to take 1/2 day leave more, not a lot, but I think I had better confirm with Senior whether I can take this extension.
Between Senior and myself, we have to settle the workload given by boss. The newer girl is not independent enough to take care of a project alone. So if I am not at work, the worst hit will be Senior.
Me : So do you think I can take more leave on top the days I'd taken?
Senior : Ok lor, take it as you please. I'll just camp in office.
Me : Wah, say that to make me feel guilty only. Actually I am going to take 1/2 day more, do you want to drive me there? *Please?!*
Senior : Still need me to drive you. Haiz. What to do?
Poor senior. Always kena bully by me. :P

What's wrong?
I dunno what's wrong with me, but I am certainly not in the mood to do any work. It's not because of Monday for sure, as Mondays had always been one of my favourite days of the week.
Aww.. What's wrong with me?
Aww.. What's wrong with me?

Which is worse?
I wonder, if you have a filing system at work, which you had perfected with the months you invested. A new colleague came by, and what gets you more irked?
1. She worked out a totally new and fab system, that you admit is flawless, but also understand you have to take another few months to comprehend and getting use to.
2. She rearranged your files, in an attempt to improve the system, but only prove to mess up everything.
3. She tries her best to follow, but her method is to label big ugly stickers, with big ugly scrawls indicating what each file / each cabinet is for, and in process destroying the stylish interiors you had promised your designer to maintain.
Well, which is worse?

Movie : Definitely, Maybe
I caught Definitely, Maybe with my ex collaegue (at cineleisure, again! *roll eyes*), and half the time I battled with the snooze monster, when the show can be so predictable.Of the three woman characters, I like "April" most, and am glad that Williams is most in love with her. If there's no amazing scripts to boast about, at least make him in love with the most likable character, that is the least the sciptwriters can do, no?
But all in all, it is probably the way that Williams looks at his daughter, Maya, that gets me feeling all fluttery. And when little Maya question this nice dad, what is the happy ending to their story, given that himself and her mother is now divorced, he held her by her shoulders, and firmly told her that the happy ending is that now Maya is the happy ending.Awww.. So sweet.

Movie : Sky of Love
I almost forgot to write a review for this movie!
I watched Sky of Love with a friend because he has too little friends, and the few he had, turned him down when he decided he want to watch this show.
But being the very nice person I always am, I agreed to accompany him, though that means I have to leave the very comfortable chair I settled into, 5 minutes after I reached home.
I was out for the whole day and he didnt think of asking me. And the moment I plonked home, he sms-ed me.
Well, can also tell that I was his absolute last resort. The kind of triumph card that one wouldnt use until all resources are depleted.
Anyway, this show is nothing fascinating. It is a little too sappy for my liking, and I feel asleep at some point. Oh but well, this friend paid for the movie ticket, cos he felt bad for making me leave my comfy home.
(But the cabfare home = $28. Bloody midnight charge.)
Oh quick digress, I had been trying very hard not to take cabs these days, cos it is so freaking ex. But I had been spending plenty on cabs still, despite my promise. Sigh.

Ebooks craze
I am secretly reading ebooks in html format while I am supposed to be doing work. I hadnt read for ages, and the happiness I attain from savouring words is indescribable.
I am so obsessed with finishing the books, that I am pretending to work, while reading my books once senior steps out of office, toilet break or whatever, doesnt matter.
Wooot. I am feeling great, nevermind the setbacks I received these few months.

Kwai lan designer
Senior always call me the kwai lan designer.
Ok, I call myself that often enough too.
I am basically nice to my vendors, but I have very little patience for people who dont put in enough effort/too rude/too proud, and people whom I had a long standing vengeance.
Just today, I needed to call a vendor, whom provided a quotation for me via a contractor. I originally didnt need to call the vendor, as the contractor should be liaising all sub-contractors and vendors for me, but due to a change in plans, my boss got me to call this system furniture company.
I called back the same sales person whom my contractor spoke to, but she was on leave, and her colleague (lets just call her S) took my call. I explained my purpose, and requested she check for me on the account status.
3 hours later, since there's no response from her, I called her again, asking her what is the status. She didnt answer the call, but because I need an answer quick, I decided to call my own friend, who is in the company.
My friend promised to meet me tomorrow to help me solve the problem, then S reverted, asking me why I called. With exasperation, I asked her if she recall I am waiting for a set of answers from her?
S paused, and then said she cannot give me the answers because she lacked information, and she had more to check with me. My irritation ballooned as I dont see how she cannot call me, if she need more information. She is just merely sitting on it!!!!
That angers me.
I told her point blank, that I spoke to my friend, and she is more than willing to help, and this S, she actually had the cheek to cry foul and lecture me that I cannot pass accounts to another sales person on whim.
As though I care.
The story goes on for the whole afternoon, with me being more frustrated by the minute, no thanks to S. In the end, I am so annoyed that I fired an angry email to the boss of this system furniture company, complaining about S.
(Hallo hallo, I was very diplomatic in my choice of words in the email already ok!! I could add another 50% of viciousness into my email easily. Hah!)
Yes, I agree I can be magnanimous, and not be bothered with her. But I cannot! I am supremely angered, and I must do something in defense!
Ok lor, kwai lan lor.. Who cares.

Retail swindle
Ok, the title is a little exaggerated.
But I am annoyed!!
I was at watsons, getting my foundation refill packs, when there's a a tag saying "Up to 50% off for 2nd item", and in fine print, applicable for the same item purchased on the same day.
Fair enough.
There's no clear indication if the 2nd item would be a 50% or lesser, but I thought a 20% would be good enough for me. (Hey, I am not greedy!)
In the end? The discount is 0%!!!
Since when did 0% constitute under "up to XX%"? If this item is not going to be on promotion, at least indicate, together with your fine print, "only for selected merchandise"!
I can accept if I am not eligible for a discount, but hey, dont mislead leh!
Annoyed lor! >_<
